He does seem to be quoted everywhere, even on countless refrigerator magnets and coffee cups in gift shops! Wonder if there are any good biographies available… His words are very lyrical…
I love your combination of paintings and theatre. One of the most memorable paintings I ever saw was of a seashore with a backlit wave by artist Leonard Lane, called Summer Song. Your Blog reminds me of that painting. Jane
Hi Jane, and welcome to By the Sea! I edited the artist’s name for you. Also looked him up as I’m not familiar with Leonard Lane. I found two of his paintings of the ocean online, but not Summer Song. Perhaps some day I’ll find it! Thanks for your kind words…
Hi Barbara. I saw the painting 30 years ago, as a student. I’ve thought about it all my life. Leonard Lane died shortly afterward and I think his family has most of his paintings. I’ll be back to visit By the Sea. I am a poet and botanist and new to the Blog world. Please come and visit me at http://www.nichepoetryandprose.wordpress.com Jane
I keep encountering quotes from Rumi on various Blogs. I need to learn more about this person.
